Dietary fat revolution 2017 [deep dive]

Scientific consensus changes all the time, but the recent and dramatic U-turn about the value of fat in the diet may well go down as one of the major about-faces in nutrition science during the last century. It is difficult to say exactly how harshly history might judge the United States' low-fat diet experiment, but one could certainly now argue that the scientific evidence that vilified fat consumption and pushed consumers toward diets high in carbohydrates and sugar was at best flawed.

The new evidence has led to a dramatic dietary fats reputation reboot, which has changed the landscape for fats and oils suppliers with lightning speed and opened up a new world of innovation and opportunity to provide products using healthier fats.
